Bitcoin miner wallets awaken after over 15 years — Is this Satoshi?
Five miner wallets that received block rewards weeks after Bitcoin’s launch started moving their tokens.
Wallets belonging to early Bitcoin miners, who received tokens as rewards shortly after the blockchain’s launch by its pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, have recently been observed moving those tokens.
On Sept. 20, five miner wallets that received 50 Bitcoin (BTC) each as block rewards in 2009 started to move their funds. Blockchain data shows that one wallet received the mining reward on Jan. 29, 2009, while three received the block rewards on Jan. 31, 2009. Meanwhile, the last wallet received the block rewards on Feb. 2, 2009.
